Okra Kurkure– Tasty and crispy side dish for sambhar rice or rasam rice. You can prepare this fry either in a pan or oven. The main thing you need to consider here is patience, it takes time to get that perfect crispness in the oven.
Some people deep fry the okra’s to get the crispness. But I recommend baking or pan fry. Since you don’t need to add much oil over here. I have shown a baked version here. Make sure you have the right amount of oil and it is already heated up well in case you are doing pan-fry, otherwise the bhindi absorbs oil too much and it becomes soggy.
